My group is the counsel for the defence of Taylor specifically. (we're very stuck). Based on the information provided, the questions below need to be answered for the defence of Taylor.

Scenario (the only information provided):

Taylor and Beyonc work at Mag's Mad Music Store. Taylor is the store manager. One day, Beyonc's friend Sia enters the store, and asks Beyonc if she can borrow Kanye's new album, 'I am an Immortal God-like Genius'. She promises she'll return it after she has copied all the tracks onto her computer. Beyonc replies, 'Sure', and hands the album to Sia. Sia walks out of the store. Taylor is coming out of Christina's nail salon when she sees someone who looks like Sia, with an album in her hand. Knowing that Sia had previously stolen an album from the store, Taylor crash-tackles her to the ground. Sia suffers from concussion and a broken wrist.

Assess the criminal liability of Taylor and Sia for any applicable offences and defences.

- Look at constructive possession and Ellis v Lawson to provide defences for Taylors offences

Questions that need to be answered for the defence of Taylor:

Outline Taylors offences and defend her.

Identify the standard of proof for each of Taylor's applicable offences and defence and who bears the burden of proof in our case.

Outline the key legal issues.

Give a clear and concise overview of how the evidence you will present will prove your case.

Identify any ambiguities or disputes in the facts, and how these should be resolved.

Anticipate/Rebut the other side's arguments and address them accordingly. (what will they say against Taylor.)
